New Ad Box dimensions available

Project Wonderful has been updated again, this time with leaderboard (728*90) and square (125*125) adverts.  Both of these new ad types can be arranged in rows and columns like the existing ad box configurations (although I've yet to see anybody make use of multiple columns with the leaderboard ads).
Leaderboard adverts tend to do well at the very top of sites, and square ads are traditionally used mid-article, with text wrapping around them.
Whether the leaderboard adverts will do as well financially as a whole bunch of button adverts is yet to be seen, and I have a strong suspicion that it depends on the site and its traffic.  For low-traffic sites, a bunch of buttons as big as a leaderboard would be a bit daft - there's always going to be plenty of free spaces going on there.  But in the same breath, how would you feel about someone taking up 65,520 pixels of space on your website for three or four cents a day?

Project Wonderful featured on ClickZ.com

Project Wonderful has been featured on ClickZ.com.  Nifty!  This is important because ClickZ.com is a pretty major marketing and networking site, and talk about Project Wonderful could attract more outside interest from advertisers.  And getting more non-webcomic advertisers into the system is good, as they tend to have lots more money...

Here's the link.  Check it out!

Welcome to ProjectWonderfulTalk.com!

Given that there are tons and tons of forums and help sites for AdSense but none for Project Wonderful, I thought I'd make one.

It should be noted that this site has nothing whatsoever to do with Project Wonderful in an "Official" sense, but rather exists because... well, somebody had to make it, and Ryan's very busy working on Project Wonderful itself. If PW gets its own "Official" forum in the future, then we'll... well, I guess we'll be Double-Plus Unofficial.

Over the coming weeks, I'll be posting articles and tips, maybe interviewing a few folks, and in general bringing you lots of tasty information to help you make lots of money and have lots of fun.  You can also add your own articles to the blog (hit "Read More" to find out how) - this is an open site!

I'll also be making the site a little prettier, too - this is just the default GeekLog theme, for now.

Feel free to ask questions and share your tips and techniques!

New Zero-Dollar Bidding System

In an interesting move, Project Wonderful has decided to change the way that zero-dollar bidding works.  In the past, any bid for no dollars and no cents could be outbid by an equal shot - that is, replaced by the most recent $0.00 bid.  This worked pretty well, for a time - before people with far too much time on their hands got around to placing new $0.00 bids every day.  The new changes made this week are set to encourage a new influx of money into the Project Wonderful system, stirring up the economy a bit, and they're detailed in "Read More."
